******I'll try to rate this album, but it changes all the time. First (before I listened to it so much) I liked it sooo much, I'd give it 9.5/10. I'll also comment:

1. "I'm a Slave 4 U" [8/10] - Lyrics: Ok. Song & beat: Deadly! 2. "Overprotected" [9/10] - Lyrics: GOOD! Song & beat: GOOD! 3. "Lonely" [9.5/10] - It's just good! 4. "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" [9.5/10] - Deep & Beautiful, my #2 Britneyballad. 5. "Boys" [6/10] - Ok, but the co-ed remix is so much better!! 6. "Anticipating" [8/10] - It's just happy-ish. When you're in a good mood: nice to listen to. When you're not: dont listen to this, could get annoying. 7. "I Love Rock & Roll [8.5/10] - Good covered! Nice video ;). 8. "Cinderella" [10/10] - The first time I heard this song, i immediately fell in love with it! Listened it over and over again. My favourite song from this album! I actually wished Britney had chosen this song to be her last single of this album in stead of 'Boys [the Co-ed Remix]'. She could've made a video with Justin, I think I would've been a bigger hit than Boys, and that people'd like her better too. 9. "Let Me Be" [9.5/10] - Like it a lot! 10. "Bombastic Love" [8.5/10] - Like this one too, though I like the verses & beat of the song more than the chorus. 11. "That's Where You Take Me" [7.5/10] - It's just so sweet :D. 12. "What It's Like to Be Me" [8/10] - Like it.

**Britney's first two album were generally clean cut pop - pretty run of the mill but still enjoyable. In this album she tried to break away from the expected and tried something different, but in all honesty it sounds like exactly the same stuff, just less refined and more skanky with more random unnecessary moans and the like.

The singles were average at best (expect for 'I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet a Woman' but that's because I'm a sucker for a ballad) so that's not a good place to start. After that there's only one or two decent things on here.

All in all it's a big disappointment. At the time I began to dislike Britney (after being a dedicated fan for Baby and Oops) and I'm glad I didn't buy this album when it came out because it would have been a huge waste of money.

*****Full of early 2000's pop perfection. It was her most daring stuff up until then. From the sexy 'I'm A Slave 4 U' to 'Boys'. Even songs like 'Overprotected' and 'I'm not a girl not yet a woman' showed you where her head was at the time. Plus there's a nice collab with Justin Timberlake on 'What it's like to be me'.

I think it was a bit of a crime that 'I love Rock n Roll' got released as a single tho and that 'Cinderella' was never released as one. The latter being one of the best songs on the album! Last edited: 30/03/2017 21:15
